This week third graders are meeting to discuss The Big Move by Lindsey Leavitt. This is the first book in the Commander in Cheese series.
Ava and Dean Squeakerton are two little mice who love a big adventure! A new president is moving into the White House, and best of all ... she has kids! New kids equals cool kid treasures. There's only one problem. Sneaking around means they'll have to be as quiet as a mouse. And Ava and Dean aren't very good at that. But moving day is so busy, nobody would notice two mice searching for toys ... right?
This book contains comical illustrations that support the text and engage the reader. The story is fast-paced, full of daring adventure, and entertaining for readers. Historical facts are cleverly woven
throughout the story, practically in disguise. At the end of the book, Leavitt includes a few pages of factual information about Inauguration Day.Discussion questions for this book as well as links to other related activities can be found on the Grade 3 page.
Happy reading!
